slow speed crash 2 mo ago - side knee impact bump still

Thank you all so much!! After google searching and searching I'm glad I finally posted here. I never knew that traumatic myositis ossificans existed! That's exactly what it is. It's a hard bony lump. Yes, I had a hematoma, and now ... a lump, new bony lump. Interesting what the body does in response to injury... thank you everyone!

Wow, I had never heard of this! So, there's nothing that can be done; you just have to live with it?

Well I'm not a doctor, but I once had a benign bone tumor removed from my shoulder blade. I also have a bony lump inside my mouth (below the teeth on the left side, bottom) that my dentist said could be removed if it caused any problems. So there might be something that can be done to remove a traumatic myositis ossificans. It would involve surgery, though.
